This is a drivers side view of the astro about a week after I painted it and added wide moulding to the bottom of the van from a 1999 I found at a salvage yard.

I got a great deal on the mouldings they were maroon and needed repainted. Two were a green color anyway. I used Fusion plastic paint to repaint them after a good sanding and cleaning. I also painted the front and rear bumper covers with the same plastic paint. It ran about 40 dollars to repaint the mouldings and the salvage yard charged me 100.00 for all of them. The only other cost was about 50.00 of 3M emblem tape. I found the big rolls on Ebay and saved alot of money.

These are pics of the van after we had it for about 6 years. It had a nice paint job on it when we bought the van but Ohio winters and a few accidents over 6 years took its toll. It had been repainted before we bought it. I did find bodywork was done to it from before the car lot sold it to us. It had a replacement door and both fenders as well as plenty filler in the passengerside rocker panel. I couldnt even see it when we bought the van back in 1999. I did remove the front bumper panel before taking the pictures but the back one did fall off going down the road somewhere???? The rear bumper and rear driverside of the van was hit fairly hard in a parking lot hit and run. Im not sure if it was an accident or someone getting revenge LOL. 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro 90GMCSierra's 1996 Chevrolet Astro
